A Blight Mistake. CONCLUDED. I am afraid I must sometime have betrayed the conflicts of feeling I hid, by my manner; but when I was reserved and ceremonious with her, the always resented it, and begged me so bewitchingly not to treat her so, and to call her by her sweet name 'Florence,' that had I dreamed as much as I longed to do, I could not have refused her. But the thought that I was not what she thought rae, but sd impostor, of whom, after our connection had ceased, an 3 she had discovered the deception practiced upon her, she could thiuk or remember nothing that would not cause unmerited self-reproach and mortification, all innocent and trusting a she was, this reflection, more than any otner, 1 confess, and the knowledge of the estimation in which she would forever bold me, after my imposition was discovered, agonized me and I would have given all I possessed to own it to her and leave her sight at once, though the thought of never seeing ber more was dreadiul. Dut tnat could not be. At last we reached St. Louis. Do I Bay "at last?" When the sight ol those spires and gables warned me that my brief dream of happi ness was over,and that the remorseful reflections I had been staving off so long, were now to commence In earnest, tbe thought ol tbe coming banishment from Florence was dread ful to me, and tha time seemed to fly on lightning wings as it drew near. he was all gayety, and was astonished at my sadnssi and absence ef mind when so near home and Jenny, and when we entered the carriage that was to convey us to our destination, I had half mind to take a cowardly flight rather than encounter the scorn and disappointment of those blue eyes; but I mustered courage and followed ber iniving the address found in the porvmonnaie; which fortunately was the right one, to the driver. . "Almost home!" said she turning her bright taco towards me we were rattling np the street and my time was short 'how can yon be ao cold and quiet?" . "Because, Miss Florenoe," I answered, "the time has come in which I must confess to you that I have no more right in the house to which you are hastening than to the name by which you address me, and that my only claim to either, is thit of an impostor and deceiver," ; .; ; She turned her lovely face, wondering and puzzled towards mo. . Thank Heaven I did not lead fear and aversion in it .' ' ' . "No right! no claim?" she repeated; "nhat can you mean?".. . . I told her irankly, and fully, the whole truth, nearly as I had set it down here, denying nothing, and concealing nothing, not even the useless secret of my love to her. When the brief recital was ended, we. both remained silent, but although she bad hidden her face, I could see that she trembled violently with shame and repulsion. The sight of her distress was agony to me, and I tried to say a few words of apology. "Toa cannot blame and hate me, alias Dun-ard, more than I haU and blame my sell." I said "for the distress I have so unwittingly caused you.-' Heaven knows that if I accepted the charge of so much Innocence and beauty too. lightly, I have heavily atoned since, in having occasioned this suffering to you.sod my own punishment Is mora than I can bear." '.' d.'.'L".' . ' The coach stopped as I spoke; she turned towards me esgerly, ber bee bearing tiaoes of tears, and said in a low voice,. "Do not misunderstand we if. I was a silont." . . , , The coachman threw open the door, and stood wailing. ' I was obliged to descend and assist her out. I hardly dared to touch that ittla hand, though ft was for tbe last time, but I watched her graceful figure with sad distress'. She wu already recognized, (or the door was thrown open, and a pretty woman followed by a fine looking black whiskered gentleman, whom I supposed to be my namo sake, rushed down tbe steps. There wore loud exclamations of astonishment and pleasure, a cordial welcome, and some rapid ques tions to which Florence returned very low and quiet answers, and quickly extricating herself Irom the confusion, prosented me as "Mr. LeRoy, your husband's namesake, and tbe gentleman who kindly took charge of me.' I looked at her lace to see if she were mocking me, but it was pale and grave. Mrs. Le Roy opened her eyes widoly, but was too well bred to express surprise, and after Introducing me to her husband in the same terms. Invited me into the house. Hardly conscious of what I did, or of anything except that I was still in the presence of Florence, from which I could cot endure to banish myself, I followed them into a handsome parlor, Where sat an old lady, whom my con science told me was the rheumatic aunt I had cruelly belied. Florence herself presented me to this lady, who was a fixture, and unable to rise from her chair, and, before I could stammer an apology and retire, related in her own way (how different from mine,) tbe mistake by which she bad beon placed in my care, and tbe history of our jourmy, in which it appeared our host, Mr. Le Roy, had been a fellow passenger. When she had ended.thoy all crowded about me, warmly expressing their thanks for my "kindness and consideration," to my utter bewilderment and surprise, and cordially inviting me to remain with them, and make the acquaintance of my namesake and family. I dctsched myself from all this unexpected kindness as soon as I could, lor I fancied I read aversion in the flushing and paling face and drooping eyes of Florence, and with one last look at her, left the room. A moment after, I felt the touch of a light hand on my arm, and turning, saw, with mute surprise, that sho bad followed me ino the vestibule"Mr. Le Roy," she said hurriedly,"! cannot lot you go sway misunderstanding me as I see you do. If I was silent while you so humbly apologized for your noblo, generous, and honorable conduct, it was not from anger, believe me, but because I was first too much astonished, afterwards too much moved and grateful to speak. 1 owe you more than I can say, and should be miserable indeed, if a falt e shame, wh:ch you see has not prevented me telling you this, should prevent jou from con-1 tinuing an acquaintance so strangely begun. Trust me, sir, I speak the truth." I don't know what answer I made, for the revulsion of feeling was almost too great for words, and the rapture of knowing, as I look ed down into the lovely nice that it was not for the last time, quite took away the little senses I had remaining. If you want to know how I felt, ssk a man who is going to be hung, how he would feel to be reprieved. Well, how the time flies. It certainly does not seem five years since all this happened, yet cousin Jenny (my cousin Jenny now) so bitterly reproaches us in her last letter, for not visiting her in all that time, we have again undertaken the journey, but under different auspices, since Florence is Florence Dundard no more, and sleeps upon my arm in the cars no more blushingly, but with the confidence of a wife of nearly five years standing, and I registered onr names on the Hotel books, as "Mr. & Mrs. Le Roy," and blessed my lucky stars as I read it over. Even while I write, Florence, lovelier than ever, as I think, makes a grand pretense of arranging our baggage at tbe hotel where we stop, (and which has reminded me by past transactions to write down this story) cr comes leaning over me to call me "dear Chester," instead of "dear ceusin Frank," as five years before, and to scold me for being so stupid as to sit and write, instead ol talking with her. Was ever a man so hsppy through a "Slight Mistirke?" Folly of Pride. Take some sober quiet moment and add to gether the two ideas of pride and man; be hold him, creature of a span, stalk through infinite in all grandeur of littleness.' Perched on a speck of the universe, every wind of heaven strikes into his blood the coldness of death; his soul floats (rem his body like mel. ody from the string; day and night, as dust on )he wheel, he is rolled along the heav ens, through a layrinth of worlds, aul all the creations of God are Aiming above and beneath. Is this a creature to make for himself crown of glory, to deny his own flesh, to mock at his fellow, sprung from the dust, to which both will soon return? Does the proud man not err? Does he not suffer? Does he not die? When he reasons, is be never stopped by difficulties? Whoa he acts, is he never tempted by pleasure? When he lives, is he free from pain? When ha dios, can he escape the common grave? Pride is not the heritage of man; humility should dwell with frailty and atone for ignorance, error and gross imperfection- Sidney SmilK.

There is no book so instructive as the news paper; no knowledge so necessary to be ac quired as that which buy be gleaned from its columns. It is not only the vehicle of the cheapest but the most Innocent and least cloying source of pleasure and happiness. A newspaper, in s family, is sure every week to be the means of interesting, informing or pleasing almost every member of the family, especially when they live in the country, and see and hear but little that is now. In the course of year, a well conducted newspaper conveys information on almost evory subject, or at least excites curiosity and inquiry on all subjects. To know what is near ns in time and space, is most necessary, most pleasing a'.id most instructive; and this kind of knowledge can only be obtained from newspapers. Wo would venture to affirm that there never was, and never will be, in a country situation, an ignorant fam l who take a newspaper, as it is impossible that a family should not become in time well informed, provided they live sufficiently secluded to be thrown upon the paper as a source of amuse mont. The dullest child who bates a book will, in rainy weather steal up to a newspaper, road a marriage notice and an advertisement or two and put it down. Tbe next time probably he will become bolder, and get through '-'a horrible murder." Soon he will read short tales of fiction; then just before election time, be begins to pqep into politics, and eveh to read political speeches. Last of all, be attacks foreign news. By this time, bis curios ity is excited, and overcome his aversion and fear of books, and he is lured on to become a reading and well informed man. It is strange that any family, as a measure of economy, should be without a newspaper. Children see the world cheaply at home, in a newspaper without the danger of bad association or tbe expenses of travel. Printer)' News Letter, Capture of Sctaamyl. LeNord contains the following letter from St. Petersburg of Sept 17: "Lieutenant-Colonel Gntbbe, who has just returned from tbe Caucasus, has brought do-tails of the capture of Schamyl. He has made no written report, but has verbally commu nicated to tbe Emporor what has taken place, which is as follows: After a series of defeats, Schamyl, finding no other mean of safety, was obliged to shut himself up in the fortified village of Gonnib, with 400 Murides who remained faithful to him. This place was considered by the Russians as completely impregnable.and so strong that a single company of well-trained soldiers might have defended it for months against a whole army. The only approach to it was a steep path, so narrow that only two men could walk abreast. In presence of these difficulties Prince Bariatinski determined to make the attack, by means of having the surrounding rocks scaled, and several hundred men volunteered for this desperate service. The assault took place on the 17th. While one column advanced by the narrow path above men tioned which the Murides had prepared to defend to the last extremity, the volunteers biavely scaled the rocks on the opposite side of the fort, and, in spite of all the difficulties which impeded their ascent, suddenly appeared in tbe rear of the small band, and a desperate struggle took place. Tbe Muridos saw that retreat was Impossible, and lought with fury.' Out of the 400 men forming the garrison, only 47 remained alive, and five pieces of cannon fell into tbe hands of the Russisns. As to Schamyl, be bad shut himself up in one of tbe houses cut in' the rock. All the ground before it was covered with dead bodies; the Russians had 100 men killed. Prince Bariatinski soon after arrived, and gave orders for the firing to cease. He then summoned Schamyl to surrender. The Imam, showing himself at an opening cut in tbe wsllof thebousa, asked what conditions would be given to him. 'Surrender unconditionally,' replied the Prince, and he came for ward, the officers around tbe Genoral advising him to be' on his guard, and not expose him self to the danger of being a victim to the treachery of Scharojl. When the Chief ad mA tti. 1l.tnM e. id 'Am rfln flj.hatnv1? 'Yes,' replied the Imam. 'Well, then,' said the Prince, 'your life shall be sated; you shall keep your , riches and your wives. I shall send you to-morrow to St. Petersburg, for it is on the Emperor that your fate will depend.' Scl nyl bowed his head without speaking a word. The Prince added, . 'I have long ex. pected you at Tills, where I had hoped you wonld have come of your own accord to make your submission; but you have compelled me to come and fetch you.' Then turning Jo Col. Grabbe, the Prince said, 'Set offimmedi ately for St. Petersburg, and report to the Emperor all that you have witnessed. A de tailed report will be tent to-morrow at the same time with Schamyl bimsolf.' Such has been the denouement of the sanguinary drama which haa been so long going on." Crops In Europe." Nsw Tobk.

TEiurEitArrcE. , Proceedings of" the-G'rimst Tempi - tr Ohio. I. O. O. T. The Annual Session of the Grand Temple L 0, G. T., of this State, convened at San dusky City, on the 4th Inst, Rev. James M. Morrow, O. W. C. T presiding. With the exception of the Guards, all the Grand Olfl cers were present, and about seventy-five Representatives, togother with past officers. and degree members. Among the important business transacted was the adoption of the Constitution for Subordinate Temples, a revised by committee appointed at tbe previ ous Annual Session. Tbe more important changes were: Int. The substitution of the word "Temple" for "Lodge" in all instances; 2d, the establishment of semt-anual instead of quarterly terms (this to take effect, com mencing with the February term;) 3d, Fixing the lowest age for admission to membership at sixteen instead of twelve, as before; 4th, making the Degree tnertmgs independent and self-sustaining, when not In conflict wfth any of tfwlaws and usoges of the Order? 6th, At-lowing those not degree members eligibility to r11 offices, Rave W. C. T. and W. V- T. By a resolution adoptod, a"'comruttee of three, consisting of J. A. Spencer, of .fjleve. land, Rev. J M. Morrow, of Delaware,' and Wm. S Burns, of Mansfield, was appointed to confer with the Giand Division of the Sons of Temperance, and the Grand Temple of Honor, in order 'to secure a thorough cooperation of the friends of the cause in behalf of tbe principles of Temperance and the suppression of the Liquor Trtffio." A resolution was that passed the G. W. S be instructed to withhold the P. W. from any Temple that shall be duo Returns and per contage to the Grand Temple, proper notification having been given them of any ar rcarages. I The Reports of the Grand officers exhibited the Order to be in a flourishing condition- that without the efforts of any General Deputies, and solely through local offices, 24 Temples bad been organized" during the yea'. The balance in the Treasury was nearly $200,00, and the total amount of cash and s'ock, over all the liabilities reported not far from $500.00. The following officers were elected for th'' ensuing year: G. W. 0. T., Leonard Parr, Ford. Geauga Co; G. W. C, Mrs.. Amanda Clark. Mt. Vernon, Knox Co.; G. W. V. T., W. R. Lot- speich, London, Mad 'son Co., G. W. S. Mrs Hannah V.' Spencer, Cleveland, Cuyahoga Co.jG.W. T., John S. Gibbens, Cleveland, Cuyahoga Co. ' ,!1 ' ' , "' Representatives to the National Temple, which meets in Nashville, Tenn , in May next, are Rev. James M. Morrow, of Delaware; Geo. Stickney. of Cleveland; Mrs Amanda Clark, of Knox Co. Alternates. Mrs. Hannah V. Spencer of Cuyahoga Co., Nelson Parker, of Geauga Co.; G. W. Lewis, of Madison Co. ' We subjoin the report of the committee on the Sta'e of the Order, which contains some important suggestions.and was adopted without dissent: ' The Committee on the State of the Order bg leave to present tbe following Report. That they rejoice to know that I He Order at the present time is generally in a flourishing condition, and that within-the past year it has found its way into many counties in the State in which it has hitherto been unknown. They also rejoice that in all its more accent working?, system and a view of practical ben efit, have taken the place of loose manage ment and inexperienced action, which seem to be the bane of almost every institution in its infancy and early career. They would suggest that the spirit for system' and order, which seems to be manifested so generally in the deliberations of this Grand body, be emulated in erery Subordinate . Temple in the State, satisfied that when such shall have become prevalent, our Order will realize per- mine ncy, prosperity, and usefulness. ' 'Your commrtteo would remind the Grand Temple that within the year past, we have been entirely deprived of any assistance from General Depntios. for ronsons as specified in tha Report of O. W. C. T., and that our in crease has been sobty due to the ofTorts of local Deputies, and other members, who having tbe interests of the causo and Order at hoait, have labored to establish its temples in their own immediate neighborhoods. Judging from the good effect of such efforts, when they have been applied, your committee would venture the suggestion or recommendation that it would in their opinion be a measure fraught with decided benefit, could this body but offer proper inducements to Temple Deputies to labor In this manner, and to this end. ' Tbe forming of kindred organizations within visiting distances of each oth er, and the intrcbange of parental courtesies and relations, are beneficial in more than one sonso. They increase the membership of tbe Order; they serve to strengthen escb others hands; they open up a ficll of fre quent country gatherings, and for constant co-operation, and the spaik of temperance is never suffered to die out. We trust the Grand Temple will not adjourn without giving the Executive Committee full power to establish such arrangements, as will snake erery Temple Deputy, and at tar as may ba, every true member of the Order a committee of one to extend Ita limits and to present its claims in towns aod counties adjacent to their own. With such A general action, Traveling Deputies for the Slate at large, will be almost unnecessary. Your committee would further recommend to Subordinate Temples, both the propriety and necessity of at all times promptly mak ing their Returns, and to see that they are property made nut The nrglrct of a f' moment's attention in thin respect, oflrn em-barrajnses future proceedings, and neriousty interferes with that efficient discbarge of duties on the part of the Oraiid officers so de sirable for onhofmny sad concentration of purpose. " Your committee further suggests that tbe G. W. C. T., should prepare, publish, and di-tribute, in connection with the Revised Con stitution, a code of the more important instructions and decisions, in order to secure the greatest' uniformity possible in all the workings of Subordinate Temples. They would further reiterate the opinions, ss expressed by a similar committee at tbe last Annual Session, io relation to itinerant lecturers, or "wandering stars," as they havo been not inaptly: termed. The Subordinate Temples in the employment of lecturers at any time, should be strictly oo their guard against imposition or pretence; and in calling to their aid persons io awaken publio senti ment, should look to those who, having merits ef their own, need no upecial endowment of Grand officers or Grand bodies. The very moment thst thhror any other re'ornratory institution shall become responsible for the action of all who may claim its endorsement,, it places itself in the possible condition of being misiimlorstood and misrepnrnenled The life and vigor of any organization is in the individuality of its membership, in the! dignity and tolerance of its deliberations, and in the union of ill forces for a common and cardinal object, irrespective of mere personal! views on lesser matters, or those not spe cialty within its piovincv to agitate or estaV-lixh. '""..'"' Your committee sincerely trust that as lor several years past, each year has marked, per haps a slow, but nevertheless steady growth of the principles and numbers of our Order, that thus we may continue on, until "Faith, Hope, and Charily," become predominant in the sentiment of onr State and Peoplv. As "our cause is just," let us keep "our union perfect," and , under tbe blessings of Providence, our own Order, together w.th ather kindred organizations, may baste the day when Ohio shall no longer suflr from the co'intless evils of an unprohibited and unrestricted Liquor Traffic. It was resolved to hold the Semi-Annual Session at Cleveland, in April next, and the next Annual Session at London, Madison Co., on the first Tuesday in Octnlier, 1860. Dost Floating in tha Air. M. Pouchet finds that the dust floating in tbe air contains the efernrii of tha minoral constituents of the glote, atom of animals and plants, and the finest debr'hiof all the ma terials we make use of. But one item he especially points out, vis; Wheat starcbi which is invariably found in dust, whether old or recent. Surprised at the quantity o' it present among the terial corpuscles, M Pouchet investigated the dust ol all sgos and of every locality; and everywhere bo found this wheat starch present. "I have found the starch,'' he says, "in the most inaccessible corners of old Gothio churches, mixed wfth dust blackened by six or eight centuries of existence; I bave found it iu the pa races and cans of the Tbebiad, where it may have dated from I ho time of tbe Pharaohs; I have found It in the tympanic cavity of the ear of a mumified dog which I had found in a subter ranean temple of Upper Egypt.

A Blight Mistake. CONCLUDED. I am afraid I must sometime have betrayed the conflicts of feeling I hid, by my manner; but when I was reserved and ceremonious with her, the always resented it, and begged me so bewitchingly not to treat her so, and to call her by her sweet name 'Florence,' that had I dreamed as much as I longed to do, I could not have refused her. But the thought that I was not what she thought rae, but sd impostor, of whom, after our connection had ceased, an 3 she had discovered the deception practiced upon her, she could thiuk or remember nothing that would not cause unmerited self-reproach and mortification, all innocent and trusting a she was, this reflection, more than any otner, 1 confess, and the knowledge of the estimation in which she would forever bold me, after my imposition was discovered, agonized me and I would have given all I possessed to own it to her and leave her sight at once, though the thought of never seeing ber more was dreadiul. Dut tnat could not be. At last we reached St. Louis. Do I Bay "at last?" When the sight ol those spires and gables warned me that my brief dream of happi ness was over,and that the remorseful reflections I had been staving off so long, were now to commence In earnest, tbe thought ol tbe coming banishment from Florence was dread ful to me, and tha time seemed to fly on lightning wings as it drew near. he was all gayety, and was astonished at my sadnssi and absence ef mind when so near home and Jenny, and when we entered the carriage that was to convey us to our destination, I had half mind to take a cowardly flight rather than encounter the scorn and disappointment of those blue eyes; but I mustered courage and followed ber iniving the address found in the porvmonnaie; which fortunately was the right one, to the driver. . "Almost home!" said she turning her bright taco towards me we were rattling np the street and my time was short 'how can yon be ao cold and quiet?" . "Because, Miss Florenoe," I answered, "the time has come in which I must confess to you that I have no more right in the house to which you are hastening than to the name by which you address me, and that my only claim to either, is thit of an impostor and deceiver," ; .; ; She turned her lovely face, wondering and puzzled towards mo. . Thank Heaven I did not lead fear and aversion in it .' ' ' . "No right! no claim?" she repeated; "nhat can you mean?".. . . I told her irankly, and fully, the whole truth, nearly as I had set it down here, denying nothing, and concealing nothing, not even the useless secret of my love to her. When the brief recital was ended, we. both remained silent, but although she bad hidden her face, I could see that she trembled violently with shame and repulsion. The sight of her distress was agony to me, and I tried to say a few words of apology. "Toa cannot blame and hate me, alias Dun-ard, more than I haU and blame my sell." I said "for the distress I have so unwittingly caused you.-' Heaven knows that if I accepted the charge of so much Innocence and beauty too. lightly, I have heavily atoned since, in having occasioned this suffering to you.sod my own punishment Is mora than I can bear." '.' d.'.'L".' . ' The coach stopped as I spoke; she turned towards me esgerly, ber bee bearing tiaoes of tears, and said in a low voice,. "Do not misunderstand we if. I was a silont." . . , , The coachman threw open the door, and stood wailing. ' I was obliged to descend and assist her out. I hardly dared to touch that ittla hand, though ft was for tbe last time, but I watched her graceful figure with sad distress'. She wu already recognized, (or the door was thrown open, and a pretty woman followed by a fine looking black whiskered gentleman, whom I supposed to be my namo sake, rushed down tbe steps. There wore loud exclamations of astonishment and pleasure, a cordial welcome, and some rapid ques tions to which Florence returned very low and quiet answers, and quickly extricating herself Irom the confusion, prosented me as "Mr. LeRoy, your husband's namesake, and tbe gentleman who kindly took charge of me.' I looked at her lace to see if she were mocking me, but it was pale and grave. Mrs. Le Roy opened her eyes widoly, but was too well bred to express surprise, and after Introducing me to her husband in the same terms. Invited me into the house. Hardly conscious of what I did, or of anything except that I was still in the presence of Florence, from which I could cot endure to banish myself, I followed them into a handsome parlor, Where sat an old lady, whom my con science told me was the rheumatic aunt I had cruelly belied. Florence herself presented me to this lady, who was a fixture, and unable to rise from her chair, and, before I could stammer an apology and retire, related in her own way (how different from mine,) tbe mistake by which she bad beon placed in my care, and tbe history of our jourmy, in which it appeared our host, Mr. Le Roy, had been a fellow passenger. When she had ended.thoy all crowded about me, warmly expressing their thanks for my "kindness and consideration," to my utter bewilderment and surprise, and cordially inviting me to remain with them, and make the acquaintance of my namesake and family. I dctsched myself from all this unexpected kindness as soon as I could, lor I fancied I read aversion in the flushing and paling face and drooping eyes of Florence, and with one last look at her, left the room. A moment after, I felt the touch of a light hand on my arm, and turning, saw, with mute surprise, that sho bad followed me ino the vestibule"Mr. Le Roy," she said hurriedly,"! cannot lot you go sway misunderstanding me as I see you do. If I was silent while you so humbly apologized for your noblo, generous, and honorable conduct, it was not from anger, believe me, but because I was first too much astonished, afterwards too much moved and grateful to speak. 1 owe you more than I can say, and should be miserable indeed, if a falt e shame, wh:ch you see has not prevented me telling you this, should prevent jou from con-1 tinuing an acquaintance so strangely begun. Trust me, sir, I speak the truth." I don't know what answer I made, for the revulsion of feeling was almost too great for words, and the rapture of knowing, as I look ed down into the lovely nice that it was not for the last time, quite took away the little senses I had remaining. If you want to know how I felt, ssk a man who is going to be hung, how he would feel to be reprieved. Well, how the time flies. It certainly does not seem five years since all this happened, yet cousin Jenny (my cousin Jenny now) so bitterly reproaches us in her last letter, for not visiting her in all that time, we have again undertaken the journey, but under different auspices, since Florence is Florence Dundard no more, and sleeps upon my arm in the cars no more blushingly, but with the confidence of a wife of nearly five years standing, and I registered onr names on the Hotel books, as "Mr. & Mrs. Le Roy," and blessed my lucky stars as I read it over. Even while I write, Florence, lovelier than ever, as I think, makes a grand pretense of arranging our baggage at tbe hotel where we stop, (and which has reminded me by past transactions to write down this story) cr comes leaning over me to call me "dear Chester," instead of "dear ceusin Frank," as five years before, and to scold me for being so stupid as to sit and write, instead ol talking with her. Was ever a man so hsppy through a "Slight Mistirke?" Folly of Pride. Take some sober quiet moment and add to gether the two ideas of pride and man; be hold him, creature of a span, stalk through infinite in all grandeur of littleness.' Perched on a speck of the universe, every wind of heaven strikes into his blood the coldness of death; his soul floats (rem his body like mel. ody from the string; day and night, as dust on )he wheel, he is rolled along the heav ens, through a layrinth of worlds, aul all the creations of God are Aiming above and beneath. Is this a creature to make for himself crown of glory, to deny his own flesh, to mock at his fellow, sprung from the dust, to which both will soon return? Does the proud man not err? Does he not suffer? Does he not die? When he reasons, is be never stopped by difficulties? Whoa he acts, is he never tempted by pleasure? When he lives, is he free from pain? When ha dios, can he escape the common grave? Pride is not the heritage of man; humility should dwell with frailty and atone for ignorance, error and gross imperfection- Sidney SmilK.

There is no book so instructive as the news paper; no knowledge so necessary to be ac quired as that which buy be gleaned from its columns. It is not only the vehicle of the cheapest but the most Innocent and least cloying source of pleasure and happiness. A newspaper, in s family, is sure every week to be the means of interesting, informing or pleasing almost every member of the family, especially when they live in the country, and see and hear but little that is now. In the course of year, a well conducted newspaper conveys information on almost evory subject, or at least excites curiosity and inquiry on all subjects. To know what is near ns in time and space, is most necessary, most pleasing a'.id most instructive; and this kind of knowledge can only be obtained from newspapers. Wo would venture to affirm that there never was, and never will be, in a country situation, an ignorant fam l who take a newspaper, as it is impossible that a family should not become in time well informed, provided they live sufficiently secluded to be thrown upon the paper as a source of amuse mont. The dullest child who bates a book will, in rainy weather steal up to a newspaper, road a marriage notice and an advertisement or two and put it down. Tbe next time probably he will become bolder, and get through '-'a horrible murder." Soon he will read short tales of fiction; then just before election time, be begins to pqep into politics, and eveh to read political speeches. Last of all, be attacks foreign news. By this time, bis curios ity is excited, and overcome his aversion and fear of books, and he is lured on to become a reading and well informed man. It is strange that any family, as a measure of economy, should be without a newspaper. Children see the world cheaply at home, in a newspaper without the danger of bad association or tbe expenses of travel. Printer)' News Letter, Capture of Sctaamyl. LeNord contains the following letter from St. Petersburg of Sept 17: "Lieutenant-Colonel Gntbbe, who has just returned from tbe Caucasus, has brought do-tails of the capture of Schamyl. He has made no written report, but has verbally commu nicated to tbe Emporor what has taken place, which is as follows: After a series of defeats, Schamyl, finding no other mean of safety, was obliged to shut himself up in the fortified village of Gonnib, with 400 Murides who remained faithful to him. This place was considered by the Russians as completely impregnable.and so strong that a single company of well-trained soldiers might have defended it for months against a whole army. The only approach to it was a steep path, so narrow that only two men could walk abreast. In presence of these difficulties Prince Bariatinski determined to make the attack, by means of having the surrounding rocks scaled, and several hundred men volunteered for this desperate service. The assault took place on the 17th. While one column advanced by the narrow path above men tioned which the Murides had prepared to defend to the last extremity, the volunteers biavely scaled the rocks on the opposite side of the fort, and, in spite of all the difficulties which impeded their ascent, suddenly appeared in tbe rear of the small band, and a desperate struggle took place. Tbe Muridos saw that retreat was Impossible, and lought with fury.' Out of the 400 men forming the garrison, only 47 remained alive, and five pieces of cannon fell into tbe hands of the Russisns. As to Schamyl, be bad shut himself up in one of tbe houses cut in' the rock. All the ground before it was covered with dead bodies; the Russians had 100 men killed. Prince Bariatinski soon after arrived, and gave orders for the firing to cease. He then summoned Schamyl to surrender. The Imam, showing himself at an opening cut in tbe wsllof thebousa, asked what conditions would be given to him. 'Surrender unconditionally,' replied the Prince, and he came for ward, the officers around tbe Genoral advising him to be' on his guard, and not expose him self to the danger of being a victim to the treachery of Scharojl. When the Chief ad mA tti. 1l.tnM e. id 'Am rfln flj.hatnv1? 'Yes,' replied the Imam. 'Well, then,' said the Prince, 'your life shall be sated; you shall keep your , riches and your wives. I shall send you to-morrow to St. Petersburg, for it is on the Emperor that your fate will depend.' Scl nyl bowed his head without speaking a word. The Prince added, . 'I have long ex. pected you at Tills, where I had hoped you wonld have come of your own accord to make your submission; but you have compelled me to come and fetch you.' Then turning Jo Col. Grabbe, the Prince said, 'Set offimmedi ately for St. Petersburg, and report to the Emperor all that you have witnessed. A de tailed report will be tent to-morrow at the same time with Schamyl bimsolf.' Such has been the denouement of the sanguinary drama which haa been so long going on." Crops In Europe." Nsw Tobk.

The substitution of the word "Temple" for "Lodge" in all instances; 2d, the establishment of semt-anual instead of quarterly terms (this to take effect, com mencing with the February term;) 3d, Fixing the lowest age for admission to membership at sixteen instead of twelve, as before; 4th, making the Degree tnertmgs independent and self-sustaining, when not In conflict wfth any of tfwlaws and usoges of the Order? 6th, At-lowing those not degree members eligibility to r11 offices, Rave W. C. T. and W. V- T. By a resolution adoptod, a"'comruttee of three, consisting of J. A. Spencer, of .fjleve. land, Rev. J M. Morrow, of Delaware,' and Wm. S Burns, of Mansfield, was appointed to confer with the Giand Division of the Sons of Temperance, and the Grand Temple of Honor, in order 'to secure a thorough cooperation of the friends of the cause in behalf of tbe principles of Temperance and the suppression of the Liquor Trtffio." A resolution was that passed the G. W. S be instructed to withhold the P. W. from any Temple that shall be duo Returns and per contage to the Grand Temple, proper notification having been given them of any ar rcarages. I The Reports of the Grand officers exhibited the Order to be in a flourishing condition- that without the efforts of any General Deputies, and solely through local offices, 24 Temples bad been organized" during the yea'. The balance in the Treasury was nearly $200,00, and the total amount of cash and s'ock, over all the liabilities reported not far from $500.00. The following officers were elected for th'' ensuing year: G. W. 0. T., Leonard Parr, Ford. Geauga Co; G. W. C, Mrs.. Amanda Clark. Mt. Vernon, Knox Co.; G. W. V. T., W. R.

Alternates. Mrs. Hannah V. Spencer of Cuyahoga Co., Nelson Parker, of Geauga Co.; G. W. Lewis, of Madison Co. ' We subjoin the report of the committee on the Sta'e of the Order, which contains some important suggestions.and was adopted without dissent: ' The Committee on the State of the Order bg leave to present tbe following Report. That they rejoice to know that I He Order at the present time is generally in a flourishing condition, and that within-the past year it has found its way into many counties in the State in which it has hitherto been unknown. They also rejoice that in all its more accent working?, system and a view of practical ben efit, have taken the place of loose manage ment and inexperienced action, which seem to be the bane of almost every institution in its infancy and early career. They would suggest that the spirit for system' and order, which seems to be manifested so generally in the deliberations of this Grand body, be emulated in erery Subordinate . Temple in the State, satisfied that when such shall have become prevalent, our Order will realize per- mine ncy, prosperity, and usefulness. ' 'Your commrtteo would remind the Grand Temple that within the year past, we have been entirely deprived of any assistance from General Depntios. for ronsons as specified in tha Report of O. W. C. T., and that our in crease has been sobty due to the ofTorts of local Deputies, and other members, who having tbe interests of the causo and Order at hoait, have labored to establish its temples in their own immediate neighborhoods. Judging from the good effect of such efforts, when they have been applied, your committee would venture the suggestion or recommendation that it would in their opinion be a measure fraught with decided benefit, could this body but offer proper inducements to Temple Deputies to labor In this manner, and to this end. ' Tbe forming of kindred organizations within visiting distances of each oth er, and the intrcbange of parental courtesies and relations, are beneficial in more than one sonso. They increase the membership of tbe Order; they serve to strengthen escb others hands; they open up a ficll of fre quent country gatherings, and for constant co-operation, and the spaik of temperance is never suffered to die out. We trust the Grand Temple will not adjourn without giving the Executive Committee full power to establish such arrangements, as will snake erery Temple Deputy, and at tar as may ba, every true member of the Order a committee of one to extend Ita limits and to present its claims in towns aod counties adjacent to their own. With such A general action, Traveling Deputies for the Slate at large, will be almost unnecessary. Your committee would further recommend to Subordinate Temples, both the propriety and necessity of at all times promptly mak ing their Returns, and to see that they are property made nut The nrglrct of a f' moment's attention in thin respect, oflrn em-barrajnses future proceedings, and neriousty interferes with that efficient discbarge of duties on the part of the Oraiid officers so de sirable for onhofmny sad concentration of purpose. " Your committee further suggests that tbe G. W. C. T., should prepare, publish, and di-tribute, in connection with the Revised Con stitution, a code of the more important instructions and decisions, in order to secure the greatest' uniformity possible in all the workings of Subordinate Temples. They would further reiterate the opinions, ss expressed by a similar committee at tbe last Annual Session, io relation to itinerant lecturers, or "wandering stars," as they havo been not inaptly: termed. The Subordinate Temples in the employment of lecturers at any time, should be strictly oo their guard against imposition or pretence; and in calling to their aid persons io awaken publio senti ment, should look to those who, having merits ef their own, need no upecial endowment of Grand officers or Grand bodies. The very moment thst thhror any other re'ornratory institution shall become responsible for the action of all who may claim its endorsement,, it places itself in the possible condition of being misiimlorstood and misrepnrnenled The life and vigor of any organization is in the individuality of its membership, in the! dignity and tolerance of its deliberations, and in the union of ill forces for a common and cardinal object, irrespective of mere personal! views on lesser matters, or those not spe cialty within its piovincv to agitate or estaV-lixh. '""..'"' Your committee sincerely trust that as lor several years past, each year has marked, per haps a slow, but nevertheless steady growth of the principles and numbers of our Order, that thus we may continue on, until "Faith, Hope, and Charily," become predominant in the sentiment of onr State and Peoplv. As "our cause is just," let us keep "our union perfect," and , under tbe blessings of Providence, our own Order, together w.th ather kindred organizations, may baste the day when Ohio shall no longer suflr from the co'intless evils of an unprohibited and unrestricted Liquor Traffic. It was resolved to hold the Semi-Annual Session at Cleveland, in April next, and the next Annual Session at London, Madison Co., on the first Tuesday in Octnlier, 1860. Dost Floating in tha Air. M. Pouchet finds that the dust floating in tbe air contains the efernrii of tha minoral constituents of the glote, atom of animals and plants, and the finest debr'hiof all the ma terials we make use of. But one item he especially points out, vis; Wheat starcbi which is invariably found in dust, whether old or recent. Surprised at the quantity o' it present among the terial corpuscles, M Pouchet investigated the dust ol all sgos and of every locality; and everywhere bo found this wheat starch present. "I have found the starch,'' he says, "in the most inaccessible corners of old Gothio churches, mixed wfth dust blackened by six or eight centuries of existence; I bave found it iu the pa races and cans of the Tbebiad, where it may have dated from I ho time of tbe Pharaohs; I have found It in the tympanic cavity of the ear of a mumified dog which I had found in a subter ranean temple of Upper Egypt. In alt coun tries, in a word, where wheat lorms the sta ple of food, starch always penetrates into the dust, and is met within greater or l-ssquanti ties. Medical Times. There is in the possession of a lady in Lon don, a copy of Macktin's Bible, in fifty four large octavo vol ;mes, illustrated with nearly 7,000 engravings, from tbe age of Michael Ancelo to that of Rc nolds and West.
